How many cylinders?

BAnNC · Oct 31, 2012

Used to be a mag that ran this challenge every few months. Count the number of cylinders on equipment you use (not counting junk or show only) and see what you come up with.
ie:
Super 55 4
pickup 6
Cub Cadet 2
weedeater 1
blower 1

Total 14

See what you come up with. Totals might suprise you.

Super 55 4
66 4
77 6
1550 6

weed whacker 1

Looks like 60 since you're leaving out show tractors and the wife's pickup.

The list would be quite long, but it totals up to 33 cylinders for equipment that sees somewhat regular use.

toolz · Oct 31, 2012

I'm up to 244, but I'm sure I missed something.

"Not counting junk"????Why exclude IH like that?

Anyway, 98 if I'm counting 'em all.

batractorman · Oct 31, 2012

Guess whether you include hers or not depends on how much you think she work with hers.

olliekid · Oct 31, 2012

1500?????

Grampy · Oct 31, 2012

Ever figure up how many quarts of oil all this stuff takes on a yearly bases for oil changes?

David R Inman · Oct 31, 2012

68 for frequently used. 76 for good running stuff. At least 274 with all the someday projects included. funny, the closest two to show tractors are the two that most frequently see the field, but we have taken the time to refresh their appearance.

rustyplow · Oct 31, 2012

I did this spring. Found out I could buy it by the barrel and not have much left over.

old · Oct 31, 2012

To many I would loose count before I added them all up. I have over 15 running tractors alone then you start counting lawn mowers and cars and trucks

FBH44 · Oct 31, 2012

Compate that to how mnany your Pop had, maybe 2 or 4, and compate to your Granpa, maybe 1 on a pull-type sprayer....

Centrifugal/radial rather than axial so it"s fins instead of
blades come to think of it.
